Notably, the firm executed these buys at prices significantly higher than the local bottom reached during the recent market flush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Breaking Down the Trade<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a Monday filing with the <strong>SEC<\/strong>, Strategy acquired <strong>1,142 BTC<\/strong> at an average price of <strong>$78,815<\/strong>. This entry point stands in sharp contrast to the market\u2019s volatility last Thursday, when Bitcoin briefly plummeted to a low of <strong>$60,000<\/strong> on Coinbase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The State of the Treasury:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Total Holdings:<\/strong> 714,644 BTC.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Total Investment:<\/strong> ~$54.35 billion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lifetime Average Entry:<\/strong> $76,056 per coin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Recent Momentum:<\/strong> The latest purchase price of ~$78.8k actually sits above the company&#8217;s long-term average, meaning the firm did not &#8220;average down&#8221; during this specific tranche.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Market Context and Sentiment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Strategy&#8217;s decision to buy at $78,815 while the market struggled to maintain the $72,000 level raised eyebrows among traders. Historically, the firm has slowed its pace when prices fall below its average cost basis\u2014a scenario reminiscent of the 2022 bear market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On social media, observers jokingly speculated that Saylor might ignore the &#8220;dips&#8221; entirely, with some mocking the firm&#8217;s tendency to buy regardless of short-term price action. Despite the &#8220;paper losses&#8221; on this specific batch, the company&#8217;s stock (<strong>MSTR<\/strong>) showed resilience, rebounding <strong>26%<\/strong> to close at <strong>$135<\/strong> on Friday after hitting a low of $107 during the Thursday crash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Saylor\u2019s Strategy, the premier institutional holder of Bitcoin, continued its accumulation spree last week, adding nearly $90<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":189,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-188","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-market"],"brizy_media":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/188","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=188"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/188\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":190,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/188\/revisions\/190"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/189"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=188"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=188"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=188"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
